Chapter 254: Formation Array In The Forest? (1/2)

Another day passed by in relative peace, which Lin Mu spent in cultivating.

The Brown Shrubby Forest Cat had woken up a little while after its breakthrough and had eaten more of the beast meat, after which it fell into a slumber again. Lin Mu had thought that it would awaken again that night, but it did not happen.

He then learned from Senior Xukong that the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat was now stabilizing its cultivation after having broken through to the mid stage of the qi refining realm. He told him that the beasts had an innate understanding of their own cultivation thus knew how to do it. Lin Mu thus let the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat rest and focused on his own cultivation.

Finally, in the afternoon the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat woke up and Lin Mu could try to get it to guide him towards the location of the Dual Circle Ascension fruit.

Upon waking up, the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat took a big stretch, raising its tail. It then walked up to Lin Mu and rubbed against him to show its affection. The beast had developed a liking to its master after having its wish fulfilled, although it wasn't really a difficult thing for Lin Mu to accomplish, anyway.

Lin Mu kneeled down and looked at the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat while trying to communicate with it. He tried to show the beast the description of the Dual Circle Ascension fruit, but was rather successful. Even after many attempts, it seemed like the idea was perhaps too much for the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat.

”Hmm, perhaps try asking it something else. Brown Shrubby Forest Cats usually keep to their usual territories and seldom leave them. Perhaps the location of the Dual Circle Ascension fruit is somewhere there or nearby it.” Xukong suggested.

”Hmm, that's a good idea.” Lin Mu replied.

He then focused on the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat, who was curiously gazing at its master.

”Home?” Lin Mu asked in a very simple thought.

”Take me” he continued.

The Brown Shrubby Forest Cat tilted its head in confusion for a bit before it finally understood what Lin Mu was trying to tell it. Having understood this, it bumped its head against Lin Mu as if gesturing him to follow him.

”Wait,” Lin Mu spoke, making the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat stop in its tracks.

”Let me carry you, there are a lot of people out there.” Lin Mu said as he picked the beast up.

He then took out a cloth again and covered the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat. The beast did not struggle in Lin Mu's hands and rather sat comfortably as if it knew it was safe with Lin Mu. Seeing that the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat was calm, Lin Mu left the courtyard and headed towards the Northern forest.

Along the way, although people saw him and some even looked at him with curious looks, no one really bothered much. The Brown Shrubby Forest Cat having been covered with a cloth only made it look like Lin Mu was carrying a package and not a spirit beast.
